User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Android 13; Mobile; rv:132.0) Gecko/132.0 Firefox/132.0

Steps to reproduce:

Open Google Docs, try to paste something using their context menu.

Actual results:

"Please, use Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V/Ctrl-X".

Expected results:

The pasted content, just that.

I think implementing this would be wonderful, it's been 17 years.

No, it is Firefox Desktop.

Attachment: The pop-up displayed on Chromium.

When I try to use the Paste from the context mention with Chrome (technically Chromium as I'm on Linux) I get the attached image asking me to install an extension. (I haven't clicked Install so I don't know what extension it is.)

Some approaches to fix this issue:

1. Convincing Google to port the extension to Firefox and use it.
2. Porting the extension and convincing Google to make changes to use it.
3. Porting the extension and tricking the page to use the installed extension.
4. Create a webcompat trick to get Google Docs to just perform the operations.
5. Something else.

Approach 2 would mean continued work in maintaining the extension. Approaches 3-4 would mean ongoing webcompat work. In either case there would be periods of problems after any Google Docs change affecting the extension.

I thing the best way to start would be to file a Chrome enhancement request to support the operations on Firefox. Has anyone checked to see if such a request already exists?

It doesn't seem to be privacy-related.
